LETTERS ON TOPICS OF THE DAY.
THE OLD PROHIBITION LAW OF MICHIGAN

To the Editor Of The Trtbune
SIR: notice Mr. Griffin chairman OF tho Natohai
Ant-saoon Republican Committee, Is quoted In The
TRIBUNE saying that Michigan had really pro-
hibtory law In this Mr. Griffin is very much mistaken
In 1855 Legislature passed very stringent prohb
itory law, making 1t msdemeanor to retail any intox
eating liquors for abeverage Forthe third and subsequent
offences the penalty 800 fine or imprisonment
The manufacture Of alcohol not prohibited but
could be sold to any person within the STATE except
to persons who might have given bonds not to sell 1t as
beverage The manufacture OF domestic cider and vino
allowed to persons who grew gathered the fruit
but less than ten gallons OF cider or one gallon OF
wine could be sold at time and could not be drank
where sold. Giving away Intoxicating liquors was pro-
hbitcd Druggists put under bonds not 10 sell az
beverage. This law, with the exceptio1 or the cohsca
ton clause which repealed in 1897 as u din not SUM-
the courts unrepealed for twenty years and when
the writer moved into the State In 1900 whskey was as
free any third party Prohibonist could have desired
and continued 10 be until the Legislature repealed inc
law by enacting law taxing saloons The law Oh loI
imposes a tax OF $500 per year in advance Oh eacn
saloon and requires bonds for 600 TO be given since
this law has been in force the number OF saloons In our
village has been reduced from twenty to ten. notwitn
standing population has increased considerably III
would please the majority OF citizens to sec the
saloons abolished but IL they cannot have that they want
them taxed. j. A. DONALDSON.

HIS ARBITRARY CoNDUCT-AN ATTEMPT To con-
FISCATE PRIVATE PROPERTY.
WASHINGTON. April % (SpecaD.The Secretary OF the

his neglect and refusal to take any action in certain
cases which have been pending for more than year
As far as can be ascertained the facts substantially
as follows: Several years ago the of quantity
of land scrip which issued under the seal Of the
General Land Office some ten years ago. LOCATED the
same on public lands 1t subsequently ascertaned
that about 1000 of the land thus entered was
within the boundaries OF Spanish grant. and tho
Secretary of the Interior ordered that said entries be
cancelled. That done The owner of the scrip then
applied to the Commissioner OF the General Land
Office for the return of his property. One
piece was returned TO him. When he examined
it he found Genera" Sparks had mutilacd II and
destroyed its value by tearing of the certificate OF his
predecessor General Williamson, and attaching one OF
his containing new conditions with which 1T would
be impossible the holder comply. He refused to
receive mutaed scrip and Sparks refused to restore
il TO him in an unmutilaed FORM He has also refused TO
act on the matter in any other way, aud for sixteen
months the owner has been deprived OF his property by
this arbitrary and unlawful refusal to act He has not
been able to bring the before the Secretary of the
Interior appeal because SPARKS would make no de
cison understood that the owner or tho scrip mas
been advised BY eminent legal authority TO cause the
arrest of General" Sparks. but that lie has dc
cided TO try first the effect OF an appeal TO
Secretary Lamar before whom all the facts have been
laid with request for such action the equities OF the
case require 1t IL understood that the value or the
property which General" Sparks seems disposed
virtually TO cOn1scatc exceeds 100000 IL should De
borne in mind that this scrip regularly issued more
than in accordance with law aud under the
official seal OF the General Land Office II Is az much the
personal property Of the owner as anything else when
